The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 153

Harrison Rodriguez's phone rang at that moment.

It was his bodyguard, Jack, calling.

After hanging up, he looked around the hotel lobby with caution.

His gaze pierced through the crowd, as if looking for something.

Then he turned and left, quickly walking out of the hotel and getting back into his car.

His actions seemed as if he were avoiding something.

A dozen seconds later, Roxanne and Chloe came out of the hotel lobby, holding hands, and headed towards the parking lot.

They were heading towards where the red Porsche was parked, which was in the opposite direction of where the Rolls-Royce was parked.

Harrison saw Roxanne and Chloe walking in a different direction.

Then they got into the Porsche.

Harrison watched them drive away.

Only then did his furrowed brows relax a bit.

Then he took out his phone and called his bodyguard, "What's Roxanne doing at the Seraphim Grand Hotel?"

Jack, the bodyguard, replied, "Mr. Harrison, I'm not sure. You asked me to keep an eye on Mr. Alexander's wife, and I've been doing that. But then I suddenly saw your wife and Ms. Mitchell coming out of the elevator, so I quickly called you."

After hanging up the phone, Harrison pondered the issue.

Inside the hotel.

Dean Langley was trying to use his connections to get the police to let them go.

In theory, the Langley family was somewhat influential in Seraphim Haven. A phone call should be able to solve that problem.

But the police were very firm, insisting they bring them back for questioning. No matter how Dean called for help, he couldn't solve the problem.

It was not because Roxanne and Chloe had called the police to expose their illegal transaction that the police were sent, but rather because of Harrison's arrangement.

Otherwise, with Dean's ability, that minor issue could definitely be resolved.

Seeing that Dean was unable to smooth things over no matter what, Hazel seemed to realize something.

Someone must have found out about her and Dean.

Was it Harrison's doing?

Hazel was somewhat apprehensive at first.

She had once promised Alexander that she would reform and start anew.

But the man by her side was her first love, Dean. That time, even if she wanted to kill herself, she was determined to be with Dean.

And Dean had forgiven her previous betrayal.

Dean also told her that he was still deeply in love with her.

Over the years, he could not forget her.

She felt the passion reignite.

Since she had Dean, if Alexander wanted to divorce her, then let them divorce.

She didn't have to worry about not being wanted.

So Hazel was no longer afraid.

Even seeing Nora rush out of the hotel lobby, Hazel did not have a trace of fear.

She was just a bit surprised.

"Nora, what are you doing here? I thought it was Harrison who called the police."

Responding to Hazel was Nora's four slaps in a row.

She slapped Hazel's cheeks twice on each side.

These four slaps echoed throughout the entire hotel lobby, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

The angry Nora didn't notice that Harrison had already left.

She slapped Hazel four times in a row, shaking with rage, "Hazel, how can you be so shameless? Have you forgotten the vows you made to our parents and brother-in-law?"

"Nora, why are you attacking your sister?" Dean immediately rushed forward to protect Hazel.

"I don't recognize this kind of sister. She's not worthy!"

From then on, she, Nora, no longer had such a sister.

She wanted to sever ties with Hazel.

Dean was still protecting Hazel, gently touching her face and asking if she was in pain.

After comforting Hazel for a while, he turned to Nora and said, "Hazel used to be my girlfriend. It was Alexander who stepped in."

Nora only recognized Alexander as her brother-in-law, "My brother-in-law didn't know that you and Hazel hadn't broken up yet."

"So what?" Dean hugged Hazel tightly in his arms, "If your sister wasn't so naive, how could she be seduced by Alexander's sweet words?"

Nora scoffed, "Dean, are you sick?"

Hazel had clearly betrayed Dean and deceived her brother-in-law, Alexander.

And Dean blamed her brother-in-law for being too sweet-talking?

"Do you really like this kind of woman?" Nora pointed at Hazel an asked.

She was ashamed to have such a sister.

But Dean cherished her like a treasure.

Just as Nora was about to say something else, Hazel firmly said, "Enough, Nora. You don't have to worry about my business. I will initiate the divorce with Alexander. Even if you and our parents no longer recognize me, I still want to be with Dean."

Eight years ago, she made a mistake.

She accepted Alexander's pursuit and hurt Dean.

Since Dean had forgiven her then, and was willing to accept her again, she was not going to miss that opportunity.

The police watched them argue fiercely. Their heads were starting to ache.

One of the officers stepped forward and said, "Enough. We need you all to come with us to the police station."

Dean quickly explained, "Officer, we really are boyfriend and girlfriend, not engaging in any illegal transactions."

The officer replied, "We'll see about that at the station."

Hazel grabbed Dean's hand and smiled, "Dean, it's okay. It's just a statement; they won't do anything to us. We didn't break the law."

Watching Hazel and Dean be taken away, Nora clenched her fists.

How could she have such a shameless sister?

She didn't even dare to show her face then.

But Hazel was so brazen.

At that moment, Harrison, who had returned to the hotel lobby, spoke in a low voice behind Nora, "You were all deceived by Hazel's gentle and virtuous appearance."

In reality, Hazel was a bad woman, and also, a woman who played with feelings.

It was absolutely disgusting!

...

That night, Roxanne and Harrison dropped by Vincent Rodriguez's "rented" place next door for dinner after work.

Ever since Roxanne ended up in the hospital with acute gastroenteritis, Vincent had sworn off the food trucks for them.

When Roxanne was at work, Vincent would prepare lunch and have it delivered to her.

He'd even whip up lunch for a few of her colleagues.

When she was at home, Vincent would prepare even more delicious and nutritious meals.

He'd even created some secret elixirs to help Roxanne get her strength back.

Vincent didn’t really have to deal with the Rodriguez Group stuff anymore, he’d handed it all over to Harrison.

So, he was pretty much a free bird then.

When it was time for Roxanne's medicine, Harrison had a piece of candy ready.

But Roxanne downed the stuff without hesitation.

She didn't mind the bitter taste at all!

Harrison unwrapped the candy and handed it to her, "You should have some candy. That medicine was pretty bitter."

Roxanne wiped her mouth, "It's just medicine, not poison. It was indeed pretty bitter, but I'm not that picky."

But since he’d already prepared the candy, it would be impolite if she didn't eat it.

Smiling, she popped the candy into her mouth and said, "Thanks, it’s sweet!"

With the candy still in her mouth, her smile quickly turned into a scowl, "Harrison, I ran into Hazel today. She really pissed me off. Guess what I saw?"

Harrison's back broke out in a cold sweat.

Did Roxanne see Hazel betraying Alexander at the Seraphim Grand Hotel?

Roxanne spilled everything she saw today about Hazel.

She was fuming, "Poor Mr. Alexander, being betrayed by his own wife."

"Really? Are you sure? Didn't you say Mr. Alexander and his wife were very much in love?" Harrison feigned surprise.

He had become quite good at putting on a show in front of Roxanne.
